Steven Spielberg directs two-time Academy Award® winner Daniel Day-Lewis in “Lincoln,” a revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President’s tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come.

“Day-Lewis’ voice is thin and reedy, which jibes with historical accounts but subverts our expectations. His attitude makes listeners lean in, and so do we, magnetized by his kindly reserve.”
- Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

“This Lincoln, stunningly portrayed by Spielberg and Day-Lewis, is real and relatable and so, so cool.”
-Chris Packham, Village Voice

“It makes politics exciting again.”
-Ty Burr, Boston Globe

“The movie is grand and immersive. It plugs us into the final months of Lincoln’s presidency with a purity that makes us feel transported as though by time machine.”
-Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

“The experience of watching Daniel Day-Lewis in this role is nothing less than thrilling. This is Lincoln. No need for a time machine, there he is.”
-Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
